Sergant was the "communications director" at the NEA, who was forced to resign a few weeks ago due to his ethical infractions.
He's not only a "Home Boy" of of Obozo (as it says on his t-shirt), but also a big promoter of Noted Intellectual Property Thief Shepherd Fairey, and in fact it was the recently-fired Sergant who promoted the "Hope" image stolen by Fairey, and which is the direct subject of the AP lawsuit.
The President of the United States has collected quite an impressive crew of nuts, commies, domestic terrorists, liars, and thieves in his circle.
